Package

ABSTRACT

A package includes a mildew-resistant bag with a chamber for holding a shoe, and a protective unit for protecting the shoe from moisture or mildew, wherein the protective unit is disposed in the chamber and attached to the mildew-resistant bag at a predetermined position.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a package for a product, particularly a package having a bag and a protective unit attached thereof, and more particularly a package for a shoe having a mildew-resistant bag and a protective unit attached to the mildew-resistant bag at a predetermined position.

DISCUSSION OF THE BACKGROUND

When manufacturing of a product is accomplished, the product would proceed to a packaging process. Packaging provides an essential function in which it protects and prevents the product from damages upon transportation, distribution, warehousing, logistics, storage, sale or use. The product can be packaged in a box made of various materials such as paper, plastics, cardboard or other materials.

In shoe packaging, a pair of shoes is often packaged in a cardboard box. The shoes are first wrapped by a packaging paper and then placed in the box. The packaged shoes are transported to a warehouse for logistics or a store for sale. However, such a form of packaging presents numerous disadvantages or problems. For example, mildew or mold can easily grow inside the box, especially during transportation or warehousing of the box. The shoes are not completely isolated from the surroundings by the box, and therefore adverse environmental conditions such as high temperature or high humidity would affect the conditions inside the box. High temperature or humidity would promote a growth of mildew inside the box, which would then deteriorate the shoes. As a result, shoes manufacturers would suffer loss or indemnity to customers.

Although a technology of vacuum packaging can be implemented by squeezing moisture or air out of the box to prevent the growth of mildew on the shoes, the box would collapse and shrink after squeezing out the moisture or air, and the shoes would be impaired. Thus, there is a continuous need to modify the package for a product in order to overcome associated problems.

This “Discussion of the Background” section is provided for background information only. The statements in this “Discussion of the Background” are not an admission that the subject matter disclosed in this “Discussion of the Background” section constitutes prior art to the present disclosure, and no part of this “Discussion of the Background” section may be used as an admission that any part of this application, including this “Discussion of the Background” section, constitutes prior art to the present disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following description of the disclosure accompanies drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, and illustrate embodiments of the disclosure, but the disclosure is not limited to the embodiments. In addition, the following embodiments can be properly integrated to complete another embodiment.

References to “one embodiment,” “an embodiment,” “exemplary embodiment,” “other embodiments,” “another embodiment,” etc. indicate that the embodiment(s) of the disclosure so described may include a particular feature, structure, or characteristic, but not every embodiment necessarily includes the particular feature, structure, or characteristic. Further, repeated use of the phrase “in the embodiment” does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, although it may.

The present disclosure is directed to a package for a shoe having a mildew-resistant bag and a protective unit attached to the mildew-resistant bag at a predetermined position. In order to make the present disclosure completely comprehensible, detailed steps and structures are provided in the following description. Obviously, implementation of the present disclosure does not limit special details known by persons skilled in the art. In addition, known structures and steps are not described in detail, so as not to limit the present disclosure unnecessarily. Preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below in detail. However, in addition to the detailed description, the present disclosure may also be widely implemented in other embodiments. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited to the detailed description, and is defined by the claims.

Upon packaging of a product, the product is packaged into a bag so as to isolate the product from the environment. Also, a protective unit is placed inside the bag in order to maintain the product in a dry condition or free from mildew, and thus avoid a growth of mildew or mold during transportation or storage of the product. When the product arrives at a retail store or is sold to a customer, the package of the product would be removed by a salesperson or customer. The bag would be opened and the product can be obtained from the inside of the bag. Since the protective unit is freely or loosely placed inside the bag during packaging, often times the protective unit is also obtained from the inside of the bag. However, the protective unit usually contains compositions such as limestone, calcium oxide or other substances which are detrimental to human health. It can be very dangerous if a baby or a child obtains the protective unit from the bag and mistakenly ate the protective unit.

In the present disclosure, a package with improved configuration is disclosed. The package includes a bag for holding an object and a protective unit for absorbing moisture or resisting mildew. The protective unit is attached to the bag at a predetermined position.

Such configuration of the package can enable the protective unit to avoid being obtained from the bag. As such, the protective unit would not be easily accessed or mistakenly eaten by a baby or a child. Furthermore, particularly from the shoe manufacturers' point of view, since the protective unit is attached at a predetermined position, a person (e.g. production line staff or quality inspection staff) would be readily able to visually inspect and determine whether the protective unit has been inserted into the bag and/or placed at the predetermined position of the bag. As such, a disappearance of the protective unit due to negligence could be avoided, and thus the object (e.g. a shoe) inside the bag can avoid being impaired by moisture or mildew.

FIGS. 1-3 are schematic views of a package 100 in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. The package 100 includes a bag 101 and a protective unit 102. In some embodiments, the bag 101 is made of plastics or any other suitable material.

In some embodiments, the protective unit 102 sealed in the pocket 104 can be seen through the pocket 104. In some embodiments, the protective unit 102 changes color according to the amount of the absorbed moisture, and the color change can be seen through the pocket 104.

In some embodiments, the pocket 104 is permeable to air or moisture. In some embodiments, the pocket 104 is made of fiber, polyethylene, polyester, non-woven fabric or other materials. In some embodiments, the pocket 104 includes a plurality of pores 104 a for the passage of air or moisture therethrough. In some embodiments, each of the pores 104 a is of a size which permits the passage of air or moisture therethrough but prevents the passage of the protective unit 102 therethrough. Thus, the moisture in the chamber 101 a can be absorbed by the protective unit 102 through the pores 104 a.

Alternatively, the pocket 104 can be integrally formed with the mildew-resistant bag 101 as shown in FIGS. 7-9. FIGS. 8 and 9 are enlarged views of a part of the mildew-resistant bag 101, the pocket 104 and the protective unit 102. FIG. 8 illustrates the pocket 104 in an open state in which the opening 104 b is opened, while FIG. 9 illustrates that the pocket 104 in a closed state in which the opening 104 b is closed. The pocket 104 is a part of the mildew-resistant bag 101. In some embodiments, the pocket 104 is made of the same or a different material as the mildew-resistant bag 101. In some embodiments, the pocket 104 is made of plastic or any other suitable material. In some embodiments, the pocket 104 is disposed at the predetermined position of the mildew-resistant bag 101.

In some embodiments, the protective unit 102 is inserted into the pocket 104 through the opening 104 b, and then the opening 104 b is closed or sealed by any suitable means such as adhesive, glue, sealant or other means. As a result, the protective unit 102 is sealed in the pocket 104 and would not leak out of the pocket 104. FIG. 9 shows the protective unit 102 is sealed in the pocket 104. In some embodiments, the pocket 104 is permeable to air or moisture. In some embodiments, the pocket 104 includes the plurality of pores 104 a for the passage of air or moisture therethrough. In some embodiments, each of the pores 104 a is of a size which permits the passage of air or moisture therethrough but prevents the passage of the protective unit 102 therethrough. Thus, the moisture in the chamber 101 a can be absorbed by the protective unit 102 through the pores 104 a.

Referring to any one of FIGS. 1-3, 4 and 7, the mildew-resistant bag 101 includes an opening 101 b for accessing the chamber 101 a when the mildew-resistant bag 101 is in an open state. In some embodiments, the protective unit 102 is disposed distal to the opening 101 b. FIGS. 1-3, 4 and 7 show that the opening 101 b of the mildew-resistant bag 101 is in an open state, while FIGS. 10 and 11 show that the opening 101 b of the mildew-resistant bag 101 is sealed and in a closed state. The object 103 can be inserted into or removed from the chamber 101 a of the mildew-resistant bag 101 when the opening 101 b is opened. The chamber 101 a is accessible through the opening 101 b when the opening 101 b is opened.

In some embodiments, the mildew-resistant bag 101 includes a zip 107 for closing and sealing the opening 101 b. In some embodiments, the zip 107 is disposed at the opening 101 b. In some embodiments, the opening 101 b can be closed, opened or reopened by the zip 107. The opening 101 b in the open state can be closed or sealed by the zip 107, and the opening 101 b in the closed state can be opened or reopened by the zip 107.

In some embodiments, the mildew-resistant bag 101 includes a hole 105. In some embodiments, the hole 105 is configured to discharge air from the chamber 101 a. In some embodiments, the hole 105 is disposed at a predetermined position of the mildew-resistant bag 101, such as a corner or an edge of the mildew-resistant bag 101. The air inside the chamber 101 a can be discharged from the chamber 101 a to the surroundings through the hole 105 when the opening 101 b is closed or sealed. In some embodiments, the air inside the chamber 101 a can be discharged by pressing the mildew-resistant bag 101 to squeeze the air out from the chamber 101 a through the hole 105. After discharging the air from the chamber 101 a, a geometric size of the package 100 would be minimized or decreased. As such, further packaging of the package 100 (for example, putting the package 100 inside a cardboard box, etc.) can be easily managed.

In some embodiments, the package 100 further includes an airtight member 106 configured to seal the hole 105. In some embodiments, the airtight member 106 is disposed over the hole 105. In some embodiments, the airtight member 106 has a size substantially greater than the hole 105. In some embodiments, the airtight member 106 seals the hole 105 after discharging the air from the chamber 101 a through the hole 105 such that the object 103 is sealed inside the chamber 101 a and isolated from the surroundings. In some embodiments, the airtight member 106 is a tape, a sticker or any other suitable sealing means.

FIG. 10 illustrates that the mildew-resistant bag 101 is in a closed state, the opening 101 b is closed and the chamber 101 a or the object 103 is not accessible. In some embodiments, the opening 101 b is closable in order to seal the chamber 101 a. The chamber 101 a is not accessible through the opening 101 b when the opening 101 b is closed.

When the opening 101 b is sealed or closed, it cannot be reopened. In other words, the object 103 in the chamber 101 a or inside the mildew-resistant bag 101 cannot be obtained from the chamber 101 a or the mildew-resistant bag 101 when the opening 101 b is closed or sealed.

When the opening 101 b is closed or sealed, the chamber 101 a or the object 103 can be accessed only if the mildew-resistant bag 101 is ripped or torn off. In some embodiments, the chamber 101 a is accessible by ripping the mildew-resistant bag 101 or tearing off a portion of the mildew-resistant bag 101. In some embodiments, the mildew-resistant bag 101 includes a seam 101 c, an incision 101 d, a cutting edge or a notch for facilitating the ripping or tearing of the mildew-resistant bag 101. In some embodiments, the chamber 101 a is accessible by tearing along the seam 101 c, the incision 101 d, the cutting edge or the notch disposed adjacent to an edge of the mildew-resistant bag 101. FIG. 11 illustrates that the mildew-resistant bag 101 includes the seam 101 c and the incision 101 d. FIG. 12 illustrates that the mildew-resistant bag 101 is torn along the seam 101 c, and FIG. 13 illustrates that the mildew-resistant bag 101 is torn from the incision 101 d. After ripping or tearing of the mildew-resistant bag 101, the chamber 101 a is accessible and the object 103 can be obtained from the chamber 101 a.

In some embodiments, the mildew-resistant bag 101 is disposable after ripping the mildew-resistant bag 101 or tearing off a portion of the mildew-resistant bag 101. After closing or sealing the opening 101 b, the mildew-resistant bag 101 can be opened or reopened in order to access the chamber 101 a by ripping the mildew-resistant bag 101 or tearing off a portion of the mildew-resistant bag 101. When the mildew-resistant bag 101 is ripped or a portion is torn off, the mildew-resistant bag 101 would remain in an open state as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, wherein the chamber 101 a is accessible or the object 103 can be obtained from the chamber 101 a. As such, the mildew-resistant bag 101 cannot return to the closed state in which the opening 101 b is closed or the chamber 101 a is not accessible. Thus, the mildew-resistant bag 101 is not re-useable if the sealed or closed opening 101 b is opened. The mildew-resistant bag 101 shall be thrown away after ripping the mildew-resistant bag 101 or tearing off a portion of the mildew-resistant bag 101.

The mildew-resistant bag 101 is disposable after obtaining the object 103 from the chamber 101 a. Since the protective unit 102 is attached to the mildew-resistant bag 101, the protective unit 102 would also be thrown away with the mildew-resistant bag 101, and therefore the protective unit 102 would not be easily accessed and mistakenly eaten by a baby or a child.

In some embodiments, a package comprises a mildew-resistant bag including a chamber for holding a shoe, and a protective unit for protecting the shoe, wherein the protective unit is disposed in the chamber and attached to the mildew-resistant bag at a predetermined position.
